Sunspots 4401 and 4405 both have 'beta-gamma' magnetic fields

This morning the skies over Sedona were full of clouds and smoke from a nearby controlled burn. But despite all that we did manage a look at our nearest Star. It is indeed still peppered with sunspots, and we see that Sunspots 4401 and 4405 both have 'beta-gamma' magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares.
